- This is the first time one of the two protection moves (Protect and Detect) failed due to overuse.
- This is the second time in a row that Pikachu was not used in a gym battle, which has never happened before.
- Ash's Buizel's ability, Swift Swim, is used for the first time due to the rainfall on the battlefield caused by an impact that destroyed the roof of the gym.
- It is revealed in this episode that, in the event of a Gym Battle ending in a tie, the Gym Leader is then required to decide if the challenger deserves to win the Gym Badge based on their performance.
